We are used to seeing tampering with modern Apple devices, such as the strength of the iPhone’s durability, in ways, and if you wish, torture the iPhone in different ways, such as putting it in the refrigerator or in the microwave, or dropping it from different distances. This is other than the dismantling operations by specialists to know its contents and internal components, and this is what has been done. With Air Tag The new ones from Apple have already done x-rays and then disassembled and examined them, and some of them punched them, and over the coming days we will see other things, and indeed a smart person made an amendment to it and converted it into a card that is placed in the wallet, like payment cards, and what prompted him to do that because he found It's not skinny enough, and it's still too thick for many wallets.
In fact, placing the AirTag in most wallets will cause a bulge on one of its sides, which is not desirable, which has resulted in the introduction of some smart accessories specially designed to carry it and hang it with other things.
As mentioned, one of the ambitious AirTag users came up with a solution of his own. He worked to reduce the thickness of the device by dismantling and redesigning it to be in the form of an "AirTag card".
Andrew Ngai really wanted to use the AirTag to track the location of his wallet, but he also didn't want to add any more fish to it than it is. Therefore, he decided to take it apart and redesign it again.
Ngai posted a video on YouTube showing the process, but essentially, it split the AirTag in half, removing the outer plastic wrap, completely deactivating the speaker. Then he printed the XNUMXD flat wrapping for fixing both sides.
The result, a new AirTag design with a credit card size of just 3.8mm thick means less than half the thickness of the regular AirTag of 8mm.
It is not recommended to do this process because it will nullify your warranty, and we also do not recommend anyone who is not familiar with electronic work because some sensitive components may result in spoiling the entire process and the device. But given its $ 29 value, you can take the risk and do whatever you want.
Looking at disassembling the AirTag, it seems not easy, so Ngai had to disassemble it by heating it to 150 degrees Fahrenheit to separate the glue between the board and the plastic fridge, then move the battery to another location with attaching it and soldering it to the device with appropriate wires.
And after the completion of the necessary connections, print a suitable cover for the device and the battery, and in the end an AirTag was created that can be placed in the wallet appropriately.
Watch the video:
Although the Apple logo towards AirTag is one size that fits all, we do not know whether Apple will change the design in the future or not, this presented idea may suggest changing Apple's plans and redesigning them in different shapes to suit all situations and all tastes.
